Hello everyone first time here. Just got my iPad air and need some big time advice. I wanna use my iPad as a sound module for playing at church worship services. I plan to hook it up either to a midi controller keyboard or the church's triton. I love the idea of having all these synths available but can someone confirm if one is able to select different patches on the go? Sort of like when i play the triton at church i select patches fast by touching the screen of the triton synth. Is this possible with this app? Really need all the help i can get as our church's triton is breaking down fast. I was thinking about getting cubasis and using it as a host for and maybe that would work but its kind of expensive right now. Again thank you all in advance for the warm welcome and help.
Regards!
If you purchase Gadget one can hook it up to a MIDI keyboard, but make sure to plug in the keyboard before starting Gadget. From then on you can use the iPad's audio output to send the sound elsewhere. The only issue with that is that Gadget is always in portrait orientation, which is not conducive to plugging a CCK into the bottom of the tablet. There are workarounds, however, like setting the ipad flat or using certain ipad stands that have a hole in the bottom for a cable
Best of luck and go Jesus!
I think Audiobus and IAA is not very needed to an app that cover all an iPad 4 memory when is open.....for the only one thing I need is 'Export as separate audio to Audioshare'.
New Gadget Devices for future: Granular Synth!!
You can select different patches on each synth - but the interface is small, so that might be an issue. Also know that if you plan to switch synths - that it takes 4 or 5 seconds to load a new one each time.
I don't know if this would work, and it will depend on your iPad model and the number of changes you need, but you could set up multiple gadgets, each with their own presets already selected, and just switch between them with the buttons at bottom right. Just an idea... It's a pity you can't layer sounds for live performance, that could sound pretty awesome! For recorded work, you can duplicate the track and then change the sound on the second gadget to achieve this.
Sorry if this has been covered before, but how is the performance on iPad3 – some of the reviews mention latency and stutter. This is the ONLY thing putting me off right now. If would be really useful to hear from people on here using iPad3. :-)
Btw,what do you think will new gadgets cost?I mean,you really dont think they will be free,dont you? ;-) IAP is just a too big business in the appworld and Gadget is perfectly made for a business model like this.With a sidelook at Korgs pricing policy (not really what i would call"cheap"compared to others)i would say 4-5 bucks each.Not meant as a rant,if its a cool gadget,ill buy it in a heartbeat.Developing cost money and i hope Korg will develop gadget to a real DAW (like their promo says).And i believe that the"normal"software updates will be free for everybody.
I don't think they will use in apps. There aren't any in the other Korg apps, they will probably just make it part of the Feb 23 update with AB and raise the price. That way people who buy it afterwards will have to pay more for the extra gadgets.

There arent any just because it would not make much sense.What should they add to an iPolysix?The iMS20?They are pretty much"complete"as they are but Gadget cries for more gadgets in the future.IMO it would be naive (no offense) to think they will shoot out everything for free and develop further for a long(er) time.BUT i will be more than happy if proven wrong by Korg of course ;-)
I just dont believe in Santa
@Crabman
I'm pretty sure they will be available as IAPs. It is actually quite a good strategy for both parties. Korg ears more money while we can pick and choose whatever gadgets suit our needs. This hopefully will also mean that gadgets will get more sofisticated as hardware evolves.

I use Gadget on iPad2 and I can run 4-5 tracks without issue before I need to start freezing tracks. Depends on complexity of course. Since finding the latency setting under the Settings app, the latency has been acceptable for me (as a regular keyboard player). So I wouldn't be put off, you will be able to achieve a lot with your iPad3.
@Crabman said:
I don't either. But I believe that instead of gouging out existing users who put their faith (and money) into Gadget at an early stage, they will increase the cost of admission to new users. Rej, developer of Caustic, said this. The confirmed price increase in about three weeks might be the time when new features are added.
Caustic stand pretty much on its own.Its absolutely outstanding what you will get there for just a"few"bucks.But that doesnt make Gadget really expensive.Even if they raise the price,you still get a lot bang for buck (15 Korg instruments included is not a bad starter).Anyway,i am ready to throw my money at the screen when they release new (hopefully sampler)gadgets
I'm also guessing new gadgets will be free. It's expensive enough for that, especially after the sale.

I hope you're right but if they add them for free they will only earn from selling the whole app which being on the expensive side will not sell all that fast (just look at how many people on this forum held up from buying it). I'm actually quite surprised korg didn't go with a free app with all the gadgets as IAPs. Priced at 5$ they would probably sell more. I'm trying to be clever but they would have definitely run it through their marketing strategists before release.
Maybe it will a bit of both, a couple of new inclusive gadgets and other enhancements to keep early users happy, plus the option of new IAPs for really major instruments? At the end of the day, there is little use speculating as Korg will no doubt do what they are going to do regardless.
Phil is correct. All of our speculating will not change anything. I like what they gave us and will see what is coming. We know AB and a few other items have already been promised in an update and given that AB is listed as a feature already one could reasonably expect at least this first update to come as advertised. After that only Korg knows. It will be interesting to watch.
Just to confirm my earlier post about using Gadget with a controller in a live situation, setting up multiple gadgets with sounds selected and stepping through them works, has quite a fast changeover and would I think be the best way to configure it for live use. You would be able to store each "soundset" as a song for fast recall.
I doubt they'll do IAP, they don't seem to be that type of company at all. If they were, their other apps would have given them ample opportunity to, but they've chose not to.
That said, it kind of seems to me that the different gadgets are actually different skins to the same synth engine. On the other hand, the lag between each gadget suggests that something is significantly changing between them.
Maybe Feb. 23 will bring an answer.
This thing has shifted tons of copies worldwide.

This sounds a bit like a conspiracy theory. I can imagine either a movie or a television episode.
Copies of Gadget have invaded Earth.....
Why are they here? What do they do?
cut to shot of men with guns marching around with KORG on their uniforms
he knows...
muffled scream and explosion
Do they really use the same synth engine?
Coming soon....Inspector Gadget - Invasion of the Korg (Star Trek reference)
Invasion of the Korg....in theaters February 23rd

I guess that makes sense. They will complete that roadmap thing that's in the iTunes description with maybe four more gadgets and audiobus/audiotrack and all that will be free, because that was how they were intending to release it if they didn't have that NAMM deadline. And then they'll add stuff that the community is requesting the most like that sampler gadget or that midi/IAA gadget with which you can sequence/automate your favourite iOS synths and they will charge for that.
...Yep, that's more useless speculetion that won't change anything. Just getting my brain stimulated...
At any rate (pardon the pun) "You will be assimilated."
Not conspiracy, exactly, but practicality.
I'm a big fan of a guitar pre-amp maker called Tech 21. They have all these Sansamp Character Series pedals which use analog electronic processing to alter your sound to represent different amps.
There is also a forum of electronics fanatics who tear down guitar pedals and discuss the results.
The character pedals were all the same except for like one difference between them which gave them each their character.
And it's totally understandable and practical, from my point of view. I owned 5 at one time, I was able to dial in similar tones between two sets of them, at a point somewhere in the middle of their controls, and they would each diverge in their different ways past that point in either direction.
So they had a crossover point, but still had their own unique character beyond that crossover point.
Anyways, that's the backstory to the vibe I get from Gadget. And I should be clear, that isn't a bad thing to me at all.
But, if true, it could limit what they are able to do as a new gadget.
Actually even if true it would still mean nothing as to future gadgets. They can pretty much do what they want. No?
They are kind of facing a CPU/RAM bottleneck, so who knows. Running multiple different synth engines simultaneously seems taxing to me.
Yet the choice remains to use the new gadgets or not. They are not facing cpu/ram demands remember, some of us are and that did not mean giving those with newer generation ipads fewer options. Instead Korg gave us a win , win scenario thankfully.
I don't know what you're talking about. I'm just speaking about the practicality of what we're likely to see if all the gadgets actually do use the same synth engine. As in, it would be better to focus on what can possibly be done with the same engine, whatever that engine allows.
For example, it can play PCM, so that suggests samples are possible with the same engine.
Guys, we're not trying to influence Korg or stir up a revolution. We're just wondering what may be. Anything wrong with that? If we couldn't speculate and project into the future life would be a lot less exciting. And what if our predictions do not materialize? Well, nothing. Whatever korg does will depend mostly on what creates most revenue. No company in this world is rich enough to relax their policy on profits, not even Apple.
@AQ808 man you're nuts
Perhaps the Borg are giving Korg their tech tips. I wonder if Captain Picard uses Gadget or not? The Borg are very clever, it could be a very interesting update. Be careful of what you download. bwaahahahahaha!!!

Excuse me but i slightly disagree ;-)
Let me quote one of my previous posts:
"There arent any IAP just because it would not make much sense.What should they add to an iPolysix?The iMS20?They are pretty much"complete"as they are but Gadget cries for more gadgets in the future"
The ONLY app that could make good use of IAPs is the iKaossilator.But they didn't,this speaks for your theory,yes.Nonetheless i definitely don't see"ample opportunies".
Afair they did not enhance any of their app with new sounds etc.Just with Audiobus and some smaller improvements (still waiting for IAA support,just saying...)
Gadget is the first app where they even announced before to bring on more sound sources later.I still think they will charge money for new gadgets.And i can't see anything bad about this.Well,if it's not more than 5 bucks for a gadget ;-)
